"I am not ablo to writo much," tho lettor says, "because I am so oxcitod, as tho massacre occurred only four nays ago in which our Uncle Tcho (Isaac) and Aunt Rovo (Robccca) woro murdered, with ovor 100 other HusBian Jows.

Berlin, May 22.-Maxim Gorki, tho Russian novelist, roeontly wrote an artiole on the Kisobinefl i "rou for a j Nijly Novgorod uewspapir, but f he cen sor refused to allow its publication. Gorki then seut tho artiole to tbs St Petersburg correspondent of the Frank fort Fliene Presse, whioh prints lt to* day. The artiole says: "Russia has boen disgraood more and j more frequently of recent years by dark deeds, but the most disgraceful of all is I the horrible Jewish massacre at Kisohi neff, which bas awakened our horror, shame and indignation. People who rc ! gard themselves as Christians, who claim j i to believe in God's meroy and sympathy, I these people, on the day consecrated to ! the resurrection of their God from the | dead, oeoupy tho timo in murdering chil dren and aged people, ravishing the | women and martyring the men of the I race which gavo them Christ. "Who bears the blame of this base orlme, which will romain on UB like a] bloody blot for ages? We shall bo un able to wash this olot from the sad his tory of our dark country. It would be unjust, and too Bimplo to condemn the mob. The latter was morely the hand whioh was guided by a corrupt con soionoe, driving it to murdor and rob-1 bery, for it is well knovn that the mob ] at Kisobineff was led by men of culti vated society. But cultivated society in Kussia is really much worse than tho people, who aro goaded by their sad life aud blinded and enthralled by tho arti ficial darkness created around them. The cultivated classes are a crowd of| cowardly slaves, without feeling of per sonal dignity, ready to aecopt every lie I to save their easo and oomfort; a weak and lawless olomout, almost without conscience, and without shame, in spite | of its elegant oxterior. "Cultivated society is not loss guilty | of disgraceful and horrible deeds com mitted at Kischinoff than the actual munica ci s and ravishers. Its mombors* guilt consists in that not moroly tboy did not proteot the victims, but that they rejoioed over tho nurdors; it consists chiefly in committing themselves for long years to bo corrupted by man-haters ai. i persons who have long enjoyed tho disgusting glory of hoing tho lackeys of power and glorifiers of lies. These are tho real authors of tho disgraceful and awful crimo of Kischiueff. "Shame Upon their wicked heads. May tho flro of conscience consume their I decayed hearts, covetous ouly of lackey like honors and slavishly obsequious to power." ONE CIIItlSTIAN K 11, i. i ; i >.
